Re: Autocross Timing/Scoring Software (score: 1): Author: Mark Sirota <msirota@isc.upenn.edu>; Date: Thu, 30 Sep 1999 11:48:09 -0400; The business of how MS-DOS or MS-Windows handles interrupts can be completely obviated by using a separate, intelligent card to do the timing. I'm sure such things exist, but I unfortunately cannot p; /html/autox/1999-09/msg01941.html (9,202 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Mark Sirota <msirota@isc.upenn.edu>; Date: Tue, 03 Aug 1999 16:48:46 -0400; Sure you can, but you also need to adjust the length of that drop link (the piece that slides along the bar) so that the preload remains at zero.

I'm not intimately familiar with the 911, 924, 928, 944, or 968, but the 914 did not have semi-trailing arms. It had true trailing arms.

I'm talking about the roll rate -- the speed at which the body rolls.

Re: semi trailing arm suspension (score: 1): Author: Mark Sirota <msirota@isc.upenn.edu>; Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 18:38:53 -0400; This assumes, of course, that the roll center was below the center of gravity before raising it. What it is actually saying is that a shorter roll couple reduces roll angle. It's inaccurate and misle; /html/autox/1999-08/msg00722.html (7,241 bytes)
